W. Littlejohn’s Reviews > In Search of Richard Hooker > Status Update

Seemed promising, but turned out to be very tedious. The author is not a terribly adept writer, and Hooker's life--let's face it--doesn't quite have the excitement of a Martin Luther. It needs a really great narrator to bring it to life. The worst part is that we really know very little about Hooker's life, and instead of simply leaving these gaps, Secor seeks to fill them by imaginative speculation. Not cool.
